“They explore global sounds, from South America to India. Organic, psychedelic & mysticism are present in each of their releases & DJ sets, both musically & visually. An approach towards Mother Earth in the form of a sound collage, that captivated us at the first listen” – DJ MAG

Earthly Measures are your local global DJ’s & producers, who have quickly established themselves as a community hub for some of the more eclectic psychedelic grooves coming out of London. Having made their name through running regular open minded events since 2016, they naturally evolved and established the Earthly Measures record label in 2020. They champion the South American Electronic music scene, consistently putting out high level releases & regularly being selected by radio DJs like Gilles Peterson, Mary Anne Hobbs, Tom Ravenscroft and many more, whilst being a mainstay in the UK festival scene, 2024 saw them making their debut at Glastonbury Festival.
